American Harmony embodies American Cruise Lines’ modern riverboat vision, launched in 2019 as the second vessel in a landmark fleet that introduced contemporary river travel to the United States. With a refined capacity of just 180 guests, the ship blends intimate elegance with bright, expansive spaces and the most up-to-date comfort. Guests enjoy expansive lounges framed by large glass windows offering uninterrupted river views, while a five-story, glass-enclosed atrium crowned by a domed skylight serves as the central gathering point for dining, cocktails, and social moments. The onboard experience centers on innovative, spacious suites: Sky Suites deliver 645 square feet of private living space with two glass walls and a wraparound balcony, and Grand Suites provide ample room for small cocktail parties or private dinners. The vessel carries 102 cabins (including one wheelchair-accessible cabin) across six decks and is powered by a guest-friendly electrical setup with US 2-pin 110V outlets. Onboard activities blend scenic appreciation with social interaction and enrichment: you’ll find elegant lounges for conversation and sunset views, opportunities for private gatherings in suites, curated lectures and performances, and comfortable spaces to unwind after a day of exploring the river. With a capable crew of 60 attending to every detail, American Harmony delivers a seamless, contemporary river cruise experience that feels distinctly American in design, hospitality, and spirit.
